Vostro Notebook 5301Feature Overview

Safeguard Your Success

13-inch laptop with a durable, thin and light design. Plus it’s equipped with essential security features,

including an HD webcam privacy shutter.

Mobility with Style and Intelligence

All your travels just got seamless thanks to the compact 14mm thin design that fits perfectly into your

carry-on, backpack or bag. You can work in style with the diamond cut finish around the touchpad

as well as the metal finish that not only looks sleek, but also makes the new 13” notebook more

durable compared to plastic finishes. In fact, this system *passed the military-grade durability test

(MIL STD 810G) and it’s equipped with a spill-resistant keyboard that helps you power through

morning coffee and lunch meetings.

The new display has a 3-sided narrow border and can be viewed in FHD (up to 300 nits) from

every angle thanks to the wide-angle viewing technology.

The intelligent thermal technology allows this new notebook to adapt its thermal profiles to stay

cool when it’s on your lap and run at full power when it’s stationary on a desk for maximum

productivity. The new drop-hinge lifts the notebook slightly off the table when it’s open past a 135

degree angle, further improving thermals by allowing for better airflow and creating a better typing

experience.

On-The-Go Conferencing

The latest Intel® 11th Gen Core™ i7 processors with NVIDIA® GeForce® MX330 2G GDDR5

graphics let you present your projects with speed and performance to spare.

Never miss a word with the Waves MaxxAudio® Pro suite of precision-tuned, studio-quality

technologies including powerful noise reduction, reliable echo cancellation, clarifying EQ, and

smoothing dynamics.

New and improved SmartByte software ensures video-conferencing applications receive network

bandwidth priority over other bandwidth-consuming applications so you’re getting outstanding clarity

on your business calls. The best part is your new Vostro (and Inspiron) PCs communicate with one

another, enabling clear video-presentations even when several of your office computers are using

bandwidth to run updates or download files.

Built in Security

Hardware TPM 2.0 (not available in China) allows you to easily encrypt your passwords and data by

enabling Windows Bitlocker. The TPM chipset enables hardware-based encryption solutions to

protect against malware.

Log in quickly and securely without having to use a password with the optional fingerprint reader

and Windows 10 Hello biometric recognition feature. Feel confident that your data and your system

are well-protected against malware and cyber threats with Windows 10 and TPM 2.0.

The new webcam privacy shutter ensures no one can see you while the HD webcam

isn’t in use.

*Disclosure: Based on testing and certification to MIL-STD-810G standards, performed and reported

independently by accredited testing companies, December 2019. Actual results may vary; testing results do

not guarantee performance under test conditions. Dell does not represent that this product meets United

States Department of Defense requirements for military use.

Reliability claims

Designed for the real world — because that's where life happens.

Every Vostro is mindfully designed to ensure reliable performance over years of

regular use. We’ve rigorously tested our systems to enhance your experience.

1. Turn up the heat: From locker rooms to locked cars, we test Inspiron laptops for survival in harsh short-term heat conditions of up to 65°C/149°F.

2. Everything hinges on it: We test Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after

opening and closing the lid 20,000 times.

3. Keys to success: We test commonly used keys for 10 million keystrokes and touch pad buttons 1

million times with no failure. So go ahead, finish your novel.

4. Buttoned-up: No matter what you set your power and multimedia buttons to do, we've tested

them all to survive up to 40,000 pushes.

5. Twist and turn: Call us excessive, but after twisting an Inspiron laptop's base and lid more than

25,000 times, we can assure you the parts inside are well protected

6. In for the long haul: Systems undergo at least 20,000 hours of highly accelerated life testing to

ensure they’re ready for the real world.
